Our Rights and Responsibilities.
We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We may, under appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide us with the following information:
- An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
- A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
- A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site;
- Your address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
We ask that you label all communications regarding the above with “copyright or other intellectual property infringement” and notify us in the manner found at Section 18 below.
We are not the publisher or author of the User Content. It is a passive service for storage and dissemination of the ideas and opinions that our members may choose to post and distribute as User Content. We do not screen works before they are posted, and no prior approval is required for posting. We disclaim all copyright and ownership in such works and all responsibility for them.
Although we cannot make an absolute guarantee of system security, we take reasonable steps to maintain security. If you have reason to believe system security has been breached, contact us by E-MAIL at webmaster@mcqmeded.com for help.
If our technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a member pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other members, we reserve the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If our technical staff suspects a username is being used by someone who is not authorized by the proper user, we may disable that user’s access in order to preserve system security. In all such cases, we will contact the member as soon as feasible.
We have the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to (i) edit, redact or otherwise change any User Content, (ii) re-categorize any User Content to place it in a more appropriate location or (iii) pre-screen or delete any User Content that is determined to be inappropriate or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to User Content containing offensive language and advertisements.
We reserve the right to refuse Services to anyone and to cancel user access at any time. MCQ uses humor that may be considered offensive or off-color to some users. We believe in using humor, to not only make learning fun, but to use as a vehicle to learn difficult concepts. Users are offered a trial period and if they purchase a subscription after the trial period has expired, that will be considered the user’s consent that the content is agreeable
Your Rights and Responsibilities as a User and Poster of User Content
You are legally and ethically responsible for any User Content - writings, files, pictures or any other work that you post or transmit using any of our Services that allows interaction or dissemination of information. In posting User Content, you are responsible for honoring the rights of others, including intellectual property rights (copyright, patent, and trademark), the right to privacy and the right not to be libeled or slandered. For example, if you wish to post a copyrighted work as User Content, you are responsible for first obtaining the copyright holder’s permission.
Under United States federal law, you retain copyright on all works you create and post as User Content, unless you choose specifically to renounce it. By posting such user content, you grant a license to us to use, reprint, distribute, modify, and create derivative works, which will be owned by us. In posting a work as User Content, you authorize other members who have access to that Service to make personal and customary use of the work, including creating links or reposting, but not otherwise to reproduce or disseminate it unless you give permission for such dissemination. You also give permission to us to copy your works as part of the normal backup process. You have the right to remove any of your works from User Content at any time.
The use of your user account or posting User Content for any illegal activity under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania and the United States is a violation of these Terms of Use. Since the law as to jurisdiction of online systems is unsettled, we urge you to consider the possible effect of laws outside our locality or your own residence. The Site is open to members worldwide (and works published on the World Wide Web, Usenet or other such services are accessible to anyone on the Internet), and we cannot guarantee that you will not run into legal trouble in other jurisdictions over your posting.
